Enabling Bridge | This section describes how to enable and use bridge extensions set up |
Extensions | through the VCX 7000 User Interface. |
| The VCX system allows you to set up your extension so that other users |
| can receive your calls at their phone. Through the 3Com VCX Web |
| Interface, you can grant permission to up to 10 users to receive calls |
| intended for your extension; that is, you are “bridging” your extension to |
| their phone. |
Bridging an extension requires three steps:
1On the phone whose extension you want to bridge (for example, extension 1000):
a Log in to the VCX 7000 User Interface, select the My Extensions option, then access the Bridge Permissions tabbed page.
b Specify the extension (for example, extension 1001) that you want to receive a bridged call and click Save.
2On the phone that will receive a bridged call (in this example, extension 1001):
a Log in to the VCX 7000 User Interface, select the My Extensions option, then access the Bridge Mappings tabbed page.
b Map the bridged extension (in this example, extension 1000) to an Access button (either button 4 or 5) and click Save.
You should not bridge an extension to a Basic phone (Models 2101 or 3101) because these phones have no programmable access buttons. Therefore, a Basic phone has no way of distinguishing a call to its extension and a bridged call.
3For the bridged line settings to take effect, log off and then log on to the phone that will receive a bridged call (in this example, extension 1001).
In this example, an incoming call to extension 1000 will also be offered to extension 1001 on line 4 or on line 5 depending what you selected in step 2b.
The bridged phone can identify up to 10 phone number to bridge with, but the number of extensions it can actually bridge is determined by the maximum number of contacts that the system administrator has set up for the phone.
